I DWELL IN POSSIBILITY…

There are many beautiful quotes inspired by possibility – a thing many will never understand because they refuse even to consider it.

For many years, I struggled in life. I was angry, and sad, and mostly conflicted – for reasons I don’t need to detail. I sought to change these feelings as I did not want to be that person. I was surrounded by the beliefs of others that proved to be a great opportunity for me to learn, and discover what did not resonate with me and seek that which did.

I took a leap of faith and bought a one-way ticket to England. Time away from everyone and everything that had influenced me thus far was paramount to my evolution. I could not wait to discover who I was – who I wanted to be.

I opened my mind to all possibilities. Before I had completely unpacked my bag, I attended a job fair where I was interviewed on the spot, and offered a position with ‘The Nature Company.’ This retail shop was located in Heathrow Airport – one of the busiest airports in the world. I got the job long, I discovered my faith and started travelling my chosen path; everything started to fall into place for me. Before people with similar values and beliefs came into my life. Working at The Nature Shop provided an environment in which I discovered much about astrology, our world and the different cultures and their beliefs. As well, I met some very interesting people on their way to somewhere else. That is the wonderful thing about airports. I would rush through security each day in order to avoid sad ‘goodbye’ scenes.

DON’T STOP BELIEVING

I had been in England for almost a year when I met my husband. Down the road from our first house, was a healing centre. The centre taught yoga and had classes on subjects such as meditation, flower blends, herbology and use of essential oils, and feng-shui. Services included Tarot Card Readings, Thai Yoga Massage, Deep Tissue Aromatherapy Massage, and Reiki. The healing centre became an oasis for me. Had I gone in ‘poo pooing’ the ideology of things, I most certainly would not have benefited from any. I kept an open mind and enjoyed each of those experiences. In fact, I benefited so much from my Reiki treatments I was invited to attend a workshop in Wales and become a Reiki practitioner. I went to Wales, I slept in a tent, in a field under the stars. Each morning, before participating in our Reiki exchanges, I bathed beneath a beautiful waterfall. There was a fallen tree across the stream on which a man would practice yoga. The experience was surreal – one for which I am truly grateful.

FAST FORWARD SEVERAL YEARS

These days, I mostly use Reiki as well as Tellington Touch Technique for my animal companions, and those in my care, my husband, and myself.

I continue to learn and be open to new ideas and practices. I was at a community women’s group meeting last year – a group that gets together to learn about a chosen topic, presented by a member of the group. In conversation, someone mentioned ‘The Bars.’ They weren’t suggesting we head to the local pub for a pint. Instead, they were referring to a type of energy work. When the meetings finish, there is normally a period of frenzie when women rush to speak with the presenter or other women within the group. It didn’t seem the opportunity to catch the woman who had mentioned the bars, would present itself anytime soon, and so I left. As with most things these days, I tucked it away in my brain and soon forgot about it.

Just before Christmas, this year, another group ran a ‘Pay it Forward’ type of Christmas Gift Exchange. Fellow group member Lisa Hill posted that she would like to offer someone an ‘Access Bars’ Treatment. Huh! How about that?

The section of my brain in which I had tucked away the previous ‘note to self’ suddenly awakened. I contacted Lisa and asked what it was all about and could this therapy also be used for animal companions.

“No” was her reply.

The Bars is something that only works on humans. Animals don’t have Bars because they don’t have the same “points of views” or judgments we have. They don’t need them.

Yamas! If you read my previous post you, will know what I mean by that.

ACCESS BARS AND HOW IT WORKS

The Bars are made up of 32 points on your head. The Bars treatment is a process in which the facilitator lightly touches these points to remove redundant thoughts, beliefs, judgments and points of view. 99.9% of all thoughts, feelings and emotions are not yours. Using the Access tools (including The Bars); Lisa teaches us; whenever you experience a thought or emotion, ask yourself, “Is this mine?” This is where ‘gut instinct’ comes into play. You will feel light and at ease when something resonates with you. If it does not, you feel heavy. The phrase ‘I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders also refers.’ If something does not feel right, ‘return to sender.’ Don’t hang on to it.

Lisa compares The Bars treatment to cleaning up the hard drive of your computer or “defragging your brain.” As you delete old files, which you don’t need, things become clear, and you feel a sense of lightness. Old files include ‘junk mail’ sent by family members or people who have willed their opinions onto you. Space opens up for you to save a new file – a reality based on what YOU would like and what makes YOU feel joyful. I booked my treatment.

The day of my treatment had been crazy; work stuff, domestic dispute, the feeling of ‘too much to do.’ Before arriving at Lisa’s house, I did message with her to warn her my ‘system’ was about to crash and that she would have her hands full. Lisa informed me she was up for the challenge, and so, as I lay on my back (fully clothed), the session began.

During the session, (which takes approximately an hour), Lisa and I chatted about the treatment. I began to relax and felt progressively calm during the treatment. Near the end of the treatment, Lisa asked me to indicate the barriers of my ‘presence’ – my ‘aura.’ I didn’t need to lift my arm too far from my side to show that I was pretty much just outside of my body. We talked about the ‘protective bubble’ and why it is limiting. People can stick things on your bubble when you remain so closed and guarded, and that is one way we adopt other people’s judgments as our own. Lisa talked me through an exercise to expand myself out into the universe; with no judgment and total acceptance. In doing so, one becomes like the wind where nothing can stick to you, and you can allow everything to flow through you. On my drive home, I felt energized, and my head was unclouded. I don’t like night driving yet this evening my vision was clearer than it had been during the day.

How does it get better than this? Show me!

Lisa suggested asking rhetorical questions and how to live in those questions, allowing the universe to bring endless possibilities. Leaving a question open to the Universe empowers us, creating, or imagining the response (whatever we expect that to be) disempower us. When you ask a question of the universe, not answering it can bring you possibilities that you could never have imagined. There is a realm of infinite possibilities available to us if we would just ask the question(s).

Lisa and I spoke about vision boards and how they are limiting. For example, you imagine your dream house and pin the photo of a specific house to your board. If you were asked to describe your dream house you might say ‘a two-story, country home with plenty of land somewhere in Ontario. If the person next to you was asked the same question, they might say ”a two-story, country home with a wraparound porch and a swing. The house would face west so I can enjoy the sunsets. There would be a detached workshop, 300 acres of land, a beautiful lake, and woodland on the property located in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario. Even though, one is more specific both are answers. The Universe holds more possibilities than you could ever imagine. Instead of describing what we want, we could ask “in what house would I be happy living? We could go one step further, and say “show me my dream house.” Then see what shows up for you.

When speaking about New Year’s Resolutions, Lisa says, “When we make a “resolution” we put pressure on ourselves to meet these goals we set out for ourselves. When we don’t meet our goals or aspirations, we tend to create ourselves as “wrong” and we judge ourselves harshly. What if instead of making goals, we decide on a certain target. A target is something that you can aim for and shoot at as many times as you like. Sometimes you hit it and sometimes you don’t, but instead of “failing” when we miss, we get a chance to shoot again – making a different choice. We can adjust something, making it easier to hit the target.

Question to the Universe: “What energy, space and consciousness do I need to be in order to have all of this come to me with total ease and without limitation? Everything that is in the way and doesn’t allow that to show up, destroy and uncreate it. Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all nines, shorts, boys and beyonds.”

Wait. What???

Exactly. This last part is a code (HTML or css) for the human computer translated into English. Essentially, a batty bit map phrase created to trip the brain and cause it to ‘reboot.’ I looked up in confusion, when, near the end of my treatment Lisa spoke those words. My system had been rebooted, and I was virus free. I slept like a baby that night and woke feeling more refreshed than I had in ages.

How does it get better than this?

Hey this is great! I just did this about a month ago with my cat Tonka in the room too it was awesome! I’m taking the first class this week so I can start running the bars on others. Great post here!Michelle Wolff recently posted…Reiki and Cats

I really enjoyed reading this, it was eye opening for me. So, I wanted to say thank you 🙂 Your journey sounds wonderful and the “bars” treatment is something I definitely want to explore more. I am in the states but my family is from Toronto and we have a cottage on Sparrow Lake that I absolutely love! Seeing you mention Muskoka, Ontario as a spot for ones dream house does sound like a dream come true. It is so peaceful there and going back reminds me of my childhood where I spent every summer and such wonderful memories were made.Kyla @ ECocooldog recently posted…{Find} Vintage Grain Sack Dog Bed

Wowzers! What a powerful post. I think I actually feel calmer after reading it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for giving me hope for a calmer mind. I look forward to viewing the video and sharing your words.

I am intrigued by the Bars as I have not heard of this before, and yes, I am open to new possibilities! Actually, I have always believed in possibilities–up until the last few years. I seem to now be mired in impossibilities. The thought of having my “bars” erased sounds wondrous! And if what little understanding I’ve gained here today is correct, then I must say… but of course this should work with my dog too!Ruth Cox recently posted…Tree Hugger Hound Dogs Pee

This was definitely interesting! I had never heard of Bars or Access Bars before. I understand your earlier need to distance yourself from family and friends, I had to do that myself for awhile as it was getting toxic for me to be around so much negativity and naysayers. I believe in being open to possibilities as well, not in shutting out what could be possible. Thanks for sharing this insight & information.!Cathy armato recently posted…Is Your Dog Vaccinated Against Kennel Cough?

OMST! I loved this. As I read it I became completely calm. I recently created goals for myself, but not resolutions. I think what I had in mind was very similar to what you were talking about. I am very interested in learning more about the Bars… I guess I’ll have to put that in my ‘things to do’, as I think it would be very beneficial to me & my anxiety filled life.Christine & Riley recently posted…Seahawks 12thPup Fans Getting Ready for Some Football!
